Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the line fic 2 ooiring forward as designate-d by tbe arrows.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the foilowing description and indicated in the several views of tbe drawing by like reference cbaraeters.

in the preferable construction of the head iight the botiy is formed in'seetions which ere seperabie thus providing for ready assess to the interior of the lamp as also facilitatingthe construction thereof. The bmi] of tiie lamp comprises a front section l and a rear section 2, seid sections having a siip joint and secured by bayonet joints, or other suitable fastening means. The rear end oic tbe section 2 is Constructed toprovide e retieotor i in a manner Well understood anni receives a lamp 5 of the electric type. in opening 6 is formed in ay side of the/75 seetion 2 end is adapted to be closed by ineens of a @over Z `which is hinged to tbe section 2 in any Weii known manner and which is seoured when closed by any suitable fastening means 8. A lens may be fitted in the opening 6 in any Weil known manner and may be ot' any color according to the Ile/ture of the rays of iight to be thrown iateraliy from the lamp when. tbe cover or door i" is swung into open position. Wings or extensions project from the body of the lamp and serve as means for securing or bracing the seme when in position upon the motor Voi-hielo. i

'The body ot the lamp fieles forwardly and is closed at its front by means of a door l0 which is hinged at one side to the body of the lamp and is adapted to be festened when closed in any Weil known mam nel'. The door 10 comprises a frame and M: a -lens ll, the latter being usualiy of glass anti secured to the frame in a Way to, admit of I'epiaeoment.v v

VVitbin the body of the lamp and at one side thereof are located simiiaiiy formed obenibers which are designed to project ooio'reti rays ot.' iight, snob as green and red. Portions of the body of the lamp are pressed outwal'diy as indicated at, i2, to form def pressions which are closed at their inner 105 side by ineens ot Walls 13 the same con- .sist-.ing of pieces ot sheet metal bent into proper shape and bolted or otherwise fastened to tbe body of the lamp asfidioateii at le. The weils iQ and i3 are'oppositely M0 rays oi light to be projected.

curved and provide longitudinal chambers which open forwardly, so as to throw the rays of light in advance of the vehicle to which the lamp is fitted. The rear end of the outer walls l2 merge into the walls of the body. The rear ends of the Walls 13 terminate abruptly 'thereby leaving spaces which are closed by means of doors 1G which are preferably hinged to the body of the lamp. The doors 1G provide for ready access to the interior of the chambers when the parts of the lamp body are separated. A lamp 15 is located in each of the light Chambers and these lamps may be of any desired color according to the color of the When the lamps l5 are clear or white the desired color may be obtained yby locating Colored lenses in the supplementary light chambers aswill be readily understood.

The lamp 5 is designated as the main lamp and the lamps l5 as the auxiliary lamps. These lamps are detachably fitted in place in any well known manner to admit of replacement. Either one of the auxiliary lamps l5 may be used as a trouble lamp when it becomes necessary to make an inspection or repairs after dark. It is to be understood that the several lamps ma/y be included in independent circuits, so that cach lamp may be separately controlled/ If ,preferred all the lamps may be included in one circuit. These are mere matters of de- Legame tail which may be arranged to meet existing conditions.

The foregoing description and the drawings have reference to what may be considered the preferred, or approved, form of my invention. It is to be understood that I may make such changesinconstruction and arrangement and combination of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what' I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A head light, comprising a body formed of separable front and `rear sections, the rear section containing a light and having a side opening, and a front section provided with light chambers extending partly within and partly without the wall thereof and a door common to and closing the body and chambers.

A head light comprising a body formed of separable front and rear sections, the front section having light chambers at one side thereotl and a door at the forward end of the front section.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. CHARLES D. KLINE.
